It will screen for seven different cancer types: breast, cervical, colon, lung, prostate, skin, and head and neck.

"Kentucky, in some key instances, has 50 percent more of certain cancers than the national average, and that gap is not closing. So, one of the ways to close that gap is with screening and early detection," Dr. Donald Miller said.

The “Horses and Hope” mobile cancer-screening van was funded by more than $1 million in private donations.

It's a partnership between UofL's James Graham Brown Cancer Center and Kentucky One Health.
